But the stories we know are not the only stories to tell. There is another story, one that has been lost to the mists of time: the saga of the dark queen. This saga begins with Yafeu, a defiant yet fiercely compassionate young warrior who is stolen from her home in the flourishing Ghānaian empire and taken to a distant kingdom in the North. There she is thrust into a strange, cold world of savage shield maidens, tyrannical rulers, and mysterious gods. And there she also finds something unexpected: a kindred spirit. She comes to serve Freydis, a shy princess who couldn’t be more different from the confident and self-possessed Yafeu. But they both want the same thing: to forge their own fate. Yafeu inspires Freydis to dream of a future greater than the one that the king and queen have forced upon her. And with the princess at her side, Yafeu learns to navigate this new world and grows increasingly determined to become one of the legendary shield maidens—to fight not only for her freedom but for the freedom of others. Yafeu may have lost her home, but she still knows who she is, and she’s not afraid to be the flame that burns a city to the ground so a new world can rise from the ashes. She will alter the course of history—and become the revolutionary heroine of her own myth. 538 $a Requires the Libby app or a modern web browser. 650 17 $a Fiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a African American Fiction. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Fantasy. $2 OverDrive 650 7 $a Historical Fiction. $2 OverDrive 655 7 $a Electronic books. $2 local 700 1 $a Smith, Willow. 856 40 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteID=251&titleID=8673561 $z Click to download here. 856 4 $3 Image $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1191-1/%7BD46B2E1A-6CEB-4ADB-8273-E130435AF52E%7DIMG100.JPG $z Large cover image 856 4 $3 Thumbnail $u https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1191-1/%7BD46B2E1A-6CEB-4ADB-8273-E130435AF52E%7DIMG200.JPG $z Thumbnail cover image 856 40 $3 Click for more information $u https://api.overdrive.com/v1/collections/v1L1B0wAAAA2Z/products/d46b2e1a-6ceb-4adb-8273-e130435af52e $x 1370 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240404010406.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A67AA518F24811EE8A4A406D47ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
